The deal goes in line with Philly’s focus on adding more money wherever possible. With the acquisition of Mike Muscala from the Atlanta Hawks yesterday, the team moved Justin Anderson and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, which freed up cap space for 2019 free agency.

Holmes, 24, was a second-round pick in the 2015 NBA Draft and has seen action in 156 games for Philly. He’s averaged 7.4 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 54.7 percent from the field. His best season came in 2016-17 when he played 20.9 minutes per game, posting averages of 9.8 points and 5.5 rebounds.
